Our hosts made us feel right at home. The entire house/barn was absolutely lovely, and the bed was very comfortable. The hosts were so nice, lovely to talk to, and made us a wonderful breakfast which included freshly baked bread. I could not have asked for a nicer place to stay in Staplehurst! I highly recommend this air bnb!

MahanJune 2016

Very friendly helpful and relaxed hosts. Theresa and John were great. Spotlessly clean. We felt very at home right from the moment we walked through the door.

RachelJune 2016

This was our first Airbnb experience- and it was wonderful. Theresa and John were perfect hosts - we felt at home straight away. The facilities were excellent, lovely big shower, comfy bed, everything spotless and a peaceful location. Super breakfast - they kindly sourced low fat yoghurt for us, and allowed us to have a post-breakdast swim - pure luxury. No hesitation in recommending them to everyone.

ShaunaAugust 2016

Fantastic experience all around. Theresa allowed us to check-in early as we had a wedding to attend. John was extremely helpful and friendly, a great couple. The bed was Lush, shower great what more can I say apart from See you both soon when we come again.

GregAugust 2016

Very friendly couple, in a lovely house. Quiet and off the main road.

JulieAugust 2016

Theresa and John made us very welcome despite the fact that we had to go out again as soon as we arrived! Next morning we were able to chat with Theresa whilst we had a lovely breakfast in their beautiful garden. Everything was of a high standard and communication before and during our visit first class. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

DavidAugust 2016

We had a lovely stay at Theresa and John's beautiful home, we were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed breakfast in the garden the next day. The room was airy, very clean and comfortable with a private en-suite bathroom. We will definitely recommend it and will stay again when visiting family in the area in future.

JemmaAugust 2016

Everything about our stay here was fantastic. Our hosts were extremely accommodating and flexible, and were even kind enough to offer us a lift from the station on arrival. The room was lovely and very well kept. All in all, an excellent experience.

We had a marvellous time, John and his wife were so welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable, and there was even tea and toast in the morning! Thanks John.

ElleSeptember 2015

John and his wife made us very welcome at their house. The room was simple but clean and the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of hot water . Thankyou for being so accommodating.

HelenSeptember 2015

My partner and I had made a spur of the moment to go on a road trip but John was very quick to respond to my booking. He kindly took us into his home at the very last minute which we couldn't have been more happier about. John's house has a lot of character to it and it felt comfortable the moment we walked in. Our room was a good size, comfortable and clean and it also included its own TV and coffee/tea making facilities. The bathroom which was just outside our room was also clean.

Su FenAugust 2015

This was our first experience of Airbnb and it did not disappoint! John is a delightful host, very welcoming, informative and helpful. It was good to chat with both John and his partner before leaving. The room is spacious and both bedroom and bathroom were spotless. John supplied a tray with tea, coffee and milk (in a vacuum flask to keep it fresh) despite this being a room only booking. We would be very happy to return here.

DavidAugust 2015

John welcomed me on arrival and was very friendly. The room was spacious and clean with double bed, sofa, own tv and wifi broadband. The room is located within a house with period features. Bonus was ability to use a modern kitchen. The house is located within easy reach of shops, and various takeaway establishments. Car parking is limited. However the house is within close proximity 100m of a free car park.

grahamAugust 2016

We were only here for a short time as we had to get up early the next day and rush off to London. However, our stay was comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting about healthcare with John - comparing the UK and US systems. We also really appreciate the information on how long it would take us to drive to the airport. We made it in time!

JamesSeptember 2015

Had a very nice two night stay... Was made to feel very welcome upon arrival and shown to my room which was lovely and spacious in a very quirky and timeless in property. Was offered access to the kitchen to make drinks etc aswell as having facilities in the room. The village is lovely too, shop just a 2 minute walk away and a few restaurants and pubs in the area too! Would definitely stay again if in the area!

StuartJuly 2015

Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly, and were flexible when we had to change our arrival time at the last minute. They kept in excellent communication via text and email with us. The room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom was clean and modern. We were given towels, and there was a kettle and tea/coffee in the room which was very helpful. We felt we had the privacy and standards of a hotel with the friendliness and warmth of a home. Highly recommend! The house itself is beautiful and quirky with its 17th, 19th and 20th (I think) century parts. We were very happy staying here after a wedding we attended nearby and were given a key to come in and out at our leisure.

*2015 Visit England Award* Brand newly renovated cottage, The Granary is a luxuriously, well-equipped property, perfect for a real 'get away from it all break. Set in a beautifully quiet rural location, yet accessible to many local places of interest

The Granary is situated in its own courtyard garden and is within the grounds of the owners 17th century barn. Luxuriously renovated last year, the owners were awarded with a Visit England 2015 Award for Customer Service. The Granary has a contemporary feel with modern bathrooms and furnishings yet retains its character with oak beams, floors and doors.
The property has wifi, Sky TV, DVD player and Bluetooth/iPod dock.
The Granary is accessed via its own gated driveway, and there is ample private parking in driveway.
Ground Floor boasts a modern, very equipped kitchen with Dishwasher, Washing Machine, Range Cooker, Microwave and Large Fridge Freezer.
This leads to Lounge/Diner with modern table and chairs for 6, large corner leather sofa and lounge/TV space. Doors lead from hallway and also from kitchen to courtyard garden with patio, wooden furniture and parasol.
There is One Double Bedroom on ground floor - with doors leading to courtyard garden - and with en-suite Shower room
There is also a Twin Room on ground floor opposite a family bathroom, with bath and over bath shower.
Stairs lead from hallway to first floor bedroom with double bed and door leading to outside staircase
There are lots of brochures and books available in The Granary featuring local places of interest, including a wealth of National Trust properties (Sissinghurst, Bodiam, Smallhythe Place, Scotney Castle Garden, Stoneacre as well as Leeds Castle (the self proclaimed 'most beautiful castle in the world') Tenterden (The Jewel of the Weald) Rye, Canterbury, Whitstable, Chatham Dockyard and Tunbridge Wells are all within easy reach - and day trips to France can be easily taken via the Eurotunnel, approx 35mins drive from the property. There are several pubs in Sutton Valence, and a delightful walk across fields takes guests to the rural Lord Raglan pub. The award winning Mulberry Tree restaurant (previously voted Kent Restaurant of the Year) is also just a few minutes drive down the lane. There is a folder in the property listing details of favourite, tried and tested pubs, restaurants and cafes nearby

It's easy to see why Kent is called The Garden of England as the surrounding area abounds with fruit trees (there is an organic apple and pear orchard opposite the Granary) as well as wonderfully traditional Hop Farms, fields of Rape and Wheat. All of this, in addition to the delightful cows, sheep - and rabbits! - that can be seen along the lane, make for a wonderfully rural experience when staying at the property.
A car is obviously essential as there are so many places to explore but for accessing London and other towns, the nearest station is Staplehurst, approx 4miles away - with trains to Charing Cross every 30mins, at a 55min journey. There is also a good local taxi company available located at the station.
The nearest supermarket is a Sainsburys Local, at Headcorn, approx 4miles away....Headcorn also has a picturesque high street, with coffee shops, restaurants and a pub.
There are several golf courses nearby, including The Weald of Kent and Chart Hills, and Headcorn Aerdrome with its WW2 Museum and newly acquired Spitfires is a few minutes outside the town. Balloon Rides, SkyDiving, Wing Walking and Flights over the Kent Countryside can all be taken from the Aerodrome.
Fishing is also available locally
There is a large pond located in the owners garden which is not accessible to guests (the properties are fenced off from one another with a gate between, but parents of young children need to be aware, that the adjoining gate needs to be kept locked due to this.
There is a Travel Cot and High Chair which can be made available upon request at no extra cost.
Whilst the location of The Granary is very rural, it is not isolated, therefore due to neighbouring properties, it is not suitable for Hen or Stag Parties.

Lovely quiet location in the Kent countryside. The property is bright, spacious and modern with everything you need. A real home from home. The owners left us a nice little welcome pack and lots of info about the house itself and surrounding areas. The bathrooms are particularly nice with great showers! Nice outdoor space too. A short 10 min drive takes you to Headcorn or Staplehurst with everything you need with local supermarkets etc. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to family and friends.

My place is good for families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets).

My house is a classic example of 1960's chalet architecture. It is a bit like living in a greenhouse because all the rooms have such big windows.
The hall is double height and very large so lots of space for coats, bags, shoes, prams etc.
All the rooms are well proportioned and large.
We have a large garden with a BBQ hut in it which is fun to use.
There is an open fire in the lounge and we provide plenty of wood for you to burn.
We have a large garden that wraps around the house providing privacy and lovely views from every window. You can use the garden and enjoy sitting on either of the patios.
There is a trampoline in the garden but it does not have protective padding on it so not suitable for beginners.
There is a large TV in the lounge.
The kitchen is well equipped if you like cooking.
We try to greet each visitor and to show you around but sometimes it is not possible and we will leave a key with instructions. Or you may prefer to arrive and have no one here. We will aim to do what you wish.

We have easy access by road (or bus) to Cranbrook and Staplehurst where there is a train to Dover, Folkestone, Ramsgate or to London. London is 60-70 minutes away by train.
If you like the coast, Hastings or Camber are a 40 minute drive away.
There are many interesting places to visit, all within a half hour drive such as Rye, Battle and Tenterden.
If you want to stay local, Sissinghurst has the Castle Gardens, a lovely pub ( The Milkhouse) and a local shop.
Over the road from us is public access to extensive woods for walking in.
This is a large house. All the rooms are big with plenty of space.
The ground floor is very level with wide doors so ideal for people with mobility difficulties.
The drive way is large so you have plenty of room for parking multiple cars if you all come separately.

A cosy garden ensuite in Cranbrook, has its own entrance to the garden and drive way. Closes to lots of National Trust sites : 5 minutes drive to Sissinghurst Castle Garden, 20 minutes to Bodium Castle, 20 minutes to Scotney Castle.

The garden ensuite is located on the ground floor, while other bed rooms in the house are on the first floor, therefore guests have their own quite floor in the night. It has its own entrance to garden and drive way,perfect independent space in the house.
Guest can use drive way, garden and has its room access to garden and drive way without using main door in the house.
We are around in the house whenever guests need help or information.

Cranbrook is the historical trading town, nowadays is the town full of good schools, very close to lots of national trust sites and the famous high weald trail. If you like nature, history, hiking, biking, animals, castles, beaches, then Cranbrook is the perfect place to stay !
The nearest train station is Staplehurst ( 12 minutes by driving), it is recommended to get around by car in this area.

Everything was clearly explained, Melody left all the essentials in the suite that I could possibly need. She has a lovely place and it suited my needs perfectly.

EileenMay 2016

Very excellent chill-out experience here. Peace of mind. I am an outdoor type of person, loving nature and etc so Melody's place is ideal for me. Close to the natures and several National Trust spots are near by, approx within 10-15min by car. Nice place to spend 1 night or 2 to explore area. Quiet yet warm because of the lovely family. I will definitely come back again later this year. See you soon all Melody & your family!

YuLinMay 2016

Melody very good with directions, off street parking. Pastries and tea/coffee offered in the morning. Choice of tea and coffee on a tray in the room. Comfortable bed. In winter the shower problem with low water flow needs attention.Also check that the wall heaters are operating. Lovely garden to view during breakfast.Very good location.

JulieOctober 2016

Staying at Melody's house was a great beginning for our "garden tour" to Sussex and Kent. She was very welcoming and helpful: communication beforehand was easy and promptly, when staying with her she had lots of information for us about the area (great for visiting Sissinghurst, Bodiam Castle, Great Dixter garden and nice villages nearby) and was very flexible. The room itself is clean with a comfortable bed for two, always tea/coffee and a little snack and en suite bathroom. There are restaurants and a grocery shop within 5min (by car). You need a car when staying at her house though. Great place to stay!! thank you!

CorinaJune 2016

We enjoyed staying in Melody's home. The separate entrance makes it even more private. Our big dog was no problem at all. Melody is very friendly and helpful. We loved the breakfast in her garden with fresh fruits, yogurts, warm pastries, coffee or tea and the sunflower. Whenever we drive to Great Britain again, we come back. Thanks Melody!

BeateSeptember 2016

We stayed at Melody's for a weekend and I must admit she is the best host I have ever come across on Airbnb! The room was spotless clean with own bathroom in a peaceful location surrounded by beautiful nature and picturesque little towns and villages, just 30 minutes from Rye. The only minor thing was that hot water in the shower was running slow, I believe because of weak pressure. But that would not stop me from going back and recommending Melody's place to my friends! Melody, best of luck to you and to your lovely family! Xxx

KatarinaApril 2016

I was very happy with my experience of Melody's accomodation, it was 5 minute's away from sissinghurst casle and the township.

RichardSeptember 2016

We had a lovely time when we stayed with Melody, she made us feel very welcome and immediately "at home". She was very understanding about our late arrival due to unusually heavy traffic during our journey and it was great that we kept in contact by texting that morning. I also really appreciated her quick response as we were only able to make our booking the night before. We would love to come again! It was also very kind of Melody to allow us to put some things in her fridge for our breakfast the following day and set up a breakfast table outside.

DanielleOctober 2016

Tony and Cyd's apartment is lovely! It's so well finished, neat, tidy and has everything you need. The amazing stand alone bath really tops off the flat. There is a lovely pub within walking distance that does great food as well. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this air b n b.

KatieNovember 2016

Charming and very comfortable accommodation with all that you need for a short stay plus some really nice personal touches to make the place feel really special. We were provided with fresh eggs, bread and cookies amongst a selection of other things which was a really nice touch. There's a lovely pub with good food about 10 minutes walk away or great Wi-Fi Internet and Sky TV should you choose to stay in. Cyd and Tony are great hosts, very friendly with plenty of local knowledge should you need it. It's the perfect location for a relaxing break and for exploring the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again!

Situated half way up a south-facing ridge gives great 180degree views. Our remote and stylish eco-house is solar powered from dawn till dusk.
Beautiful walks are found by just stepping outside. An outdoor courtyard for you to enjoy, or cosy well-equipped accommodation if you fancy staying in.

We have converted the first floor of our barn to provide accommodation which retains traditional characteristics (exposed beams and oak floors) with modern comforts, contemporary style and artwork. It's position means that as well as having great views, it benefits from all-day sunlight.
Suitable for 4 and relatively child friendly as we have baby (clutter free and robust furniture!). There are two large double bedrooms, and a sofa bed in the living room if you don't all want to share rooms. The open plan living, dining and kitchen is adaptable to suit space requirements.
On the ground floor is the entrance hallway and stairwell to access the first floor, this also doubles up as a utility and boot room. You are welcome to use the outdoor walled courtyard, there are table and chairs provided along with a BBQ (please bring your own charcoal).
Hopefully the pictures say the rest! ... Although taken with a phone, so apologies for the quality!
I'm happy to answer any questions.
Guests have sole use of our converted first floor accommodation and equipment (TV, wifi, stereo, kitchen, dishwasher), accessed by a hallway and utility with washing/drying/ironing facilities. Outside is a walled courtyard with bbq, table and chairs.
Parking right outside the front door is up a relatively steep drive, best accessed from uphill, nose first, but if you don't want to chance it, there is space just next door to the property which you are welcome to use.
We are happy to go with your preference. If you prefer a getaway with minimal interaction then we can leave the key in a key lock. If you would like us to greet and show you around, we are (usually) available to do so. If you are interested in the area or property history, then my dad likes to wax lyrical on the subject so feel free to ask. We prefer contact via phone/text/email as a first option, however if you have any problems which need immediate attention we, or our extended family will be in the next door property.

It's remote and beautiful however everything you need is available with 10 minutes of driving.
There are plenty of local sights and attractions - I can email more details for anything you may be interested in, but I'll list a few:
Walks with amazing views.
Goat sanctuary (10mins walk)
Deer park viewed from the lovely local church (40mins walk)
Leeds Castle
Sissinghurst Castle
Bedgebury Pinetum/forest
Whitbread hop farm
The Weald, with lovely quaint villages everywhere.
Maidstone is a huge shopping town.
There are a couple of dining/drinking venues within walking distance distance:
The Mulberry tree (award winning, best to book in advance)
The Cock Inn, Heath Road
The Lord Raglan, Staplehurst
Marlpit farm shop is within 15 minutes walk.
A car is the by far the easiest option to get here and to get groceries etc, but there are alternatives if you are willing to walk, bring a bicycle, or get taxis. There is a 15 minute walk to bus stops taking you to various local attractions and Maidstone. The nearest train stations are Staplehurst, Maidstone East and Maidstone West.
Taxis are available if you want to get prices from Express Cabs, Maidstone (around £13 from Staplehurst train station).
Being a newcomer to Air BnB, we are more that happy to take on any suggestions to help make yours, and future guests' stay more comfortable, if there are any facilities in particular you may need, just ask and we will do what we can to accommodate you.
For example, we don't want pets inside but if you wanted to bring a dog, there is space outside to keep one etc.

Fantastic place to stay- beautiful views and unique home with lots of fab art. Great for children as goat sanctuary up the road.

ConnieOctober 2016

Location is very central for touring the sights of Kent - from Dover in the East to historic houses and gardens in the West of Kent. Accommodation is perfect. View of Kent countryside from accommodation unbeatable. Hosts very responsive and kind.

RodAugust 2016

This is our first airbnb and we couldn't have been happier. The views and location were all that was promised and more. Camber has obviously given a great deal of thought as to every possible comfort and practical need. The accommodation is luxurious and extremely comfortable. Camber's parents were lovely. At the same time, the accommodation is very private with your own space to explore. The whole area is extremely tranquil, a welcome break from the city. At the same time, there is plenty to explore just within the grounds nearby and surrounding area--it kept our 10 year old boy occupied and happy. Equally I could see going there on my own to read, write and think-- and to sample the many beer gardens scattered around the local area! Our questions were all answered within the hour. Highly recommend this place!

HeatherJuly 2016

The accommodation was lovely and spotless and the kitchen well equipped. After a lovely weekend of wondering the trails nearby we were very relaxed!

BronwenOctober 2016

We had a very nice stay, the place was lovely, Camber was very helpful and had thought of everything she could have to make our stay as perfect as possible. An excellent area to take walks in!

AlaricNovember 2016

This was our first time using Airbnb, and it went very well. Communication with Camber was done online but she was very fast to respond. Her mum next door was a great host and made us feel very welcome, letting us use her garden for the kids to play if we wanted to. The area is very tranquil, which is what we wanted coming from London. The accommodation itself was very clean and had everything we needed. Our two little girls loved it. We went for a nice walk in the orchard nearby which was very nice.

MoinAugust 2016

Had a wonderful weekend at Camber's fabulous eco-house. Everything was well-explained before we arrived and we didn't have any issues. A stunning place, and excellent value for money. will definitely be staying again!

SamAugust 2016

Camber made us feel very welcome. It is an excellent apartment, spacious and with everything we needed. Spotlessly clean and with lots of nice touches. We had a lovely stay and camber was extremely helpful and accessible when we had a couple of questions.

Kent village with nearby pub, restaurant, take-aways and shops, including butcher, grocer and Spar. Easy access to many of Kent's attractions. with London one-hour away by rail from nearby station (1 mile).
One mile from mainline station giving access to London (1 hour), Ramsgate, Canterbury, Ashford and Dover. Bus service (directly nearby) to Maidstone and nearby villages. Easy access by car to many local attractions.
Very quiet and private.

We found Crampton Cottage last minute while look for somewhere to stay over the New Year period and it did not disappoint! Very clean, well looked after, self contained flat. Great for 4 people. the bedrooms and bathroom is upstairs and the living room and kitchen was downstairs. Amazing hot shower and very comfy beds. Kitchen had all the essentials, including a kettle and tea making facilities. Tenterten is worth a visit and isn't far and the village of Staplehurst has everything you need including a butcher. It also has a great independent wine and beer shop near the Spar. The local pub is extremely close. Parking is a bit of a squeeze if you park by the house but if your in a small car you'll be fine, failing that there is always the car park nearby. All in all this was a perfect little cottage to see in the new year with friends.

Providence Cottage is a cosy, 16th Century woodsman's cottage. Full of beams, uneven floorboards, steep stairs and an inglenook fireplace (with woodburner) large enough to stand in, it is a story-book country retreat!

Built in 1506, Providence Cottage is a retreat from the modern world, in every sense. With a huge log burning stove, it is the perfect place for two people to unplug, unwind and relax.
Ideal for two, the cottage comprises a large living and dining room with a huge inglenook fireplace (complete with woodburner), kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and powder room. Dinner in the snug with the fire roaring is what the cottage was made for, but there is also a garden for warmer days.
If you you do choose to venture out, The George in Cranbrook provides excellent food, and is less than a 15 minute walk away (don’t forget a torch!) and there are some excellent walks in the woods across the road. By car, the renowned Sissinghurst Gardens are just five minutes away.
Once owned by John Calcott Horsley, who designed the first ever Christmas card (look up the Cranbrook Colony for more information) it is the story book country retreat!
We will always endeavour to greet you when you arrive (and light the woodburner, if it's chilly!).
We are happy to interact with guests if required, and can be contacted in an emergency.

With a population of 6000, Cranbrook is small, but perfectly formed; a peaceful town, known for its white weatherboard houses, working windmill and magnificent church. It is a fifteen minute walk from the house (accessed down a footpath next to Woodpeckers Nursery).
The narrow medieval streets are lined with pretty old houses, every one different from its neighbour. There is a wide range of excellent independent shops (including a bakery, a butchers and a grocers as well as antiques and gift shops), an excellent town museum, St. Dunstan’s Church and the wonderful Union Mill, the tallest and finest working smock mill in England.
The George provides excellent food and local ales (don’t forget to bring a torch if you are walking back afterwards!) and there are many tea and coffee shops dotted around the town.
Less than three miles away are the world-famous Sissinghurst Gardens, created by Vita Sackville-West and one of the most visited gardens in England.
Tenterden is six miles away, a former Cinque Port and with a beautiful, wide, tree lined High Street and a working steam railway, it enjoys a mix of independent and High Street shops. The Woolpack, Nutmeg Deli and Chapel Down are particularly recommended.
There is plenty of easy parking on the road, just a few metres from the cottage. We recommend that you have a car to make the most of all the local attractions, but can arrange taxis to and from the local station (Staplehurst- one hour from London) if you choose to explore Cranbrook and the walks from the cottage, only.
There is a stunning bath, but no shower. There is a woodburner in the living room, plenty of blankets and hot water bottles, but no central heating. There is no television or stereo (although there is a record player and wifi). This is a 16th Century Tudor, Grade II listed building and we have deliberately endeavoured to respect this, with simple furnishings. The kitchen is equipped with the basics, an electric oven and fridge, a kettle and a toaster but there is no dishwasher or microwave.
The house will come supplied with a basket full of logs. If you require more than this during your stay, there is a petrol station less than a mile away that sells them.
Cranbrook is only a 15 minute walk or a two minute drive away, where there is a well stocked Co-op. For a more local experience, the Farm Shop at Hartley (a five minute drive) is well recommended.
Because the house is 500 years old, there is no disabled access; the stairs are fairly steep and doors to both the bedroom and bathroom are low. The house is timber-framed and this means that floors slope, and some eaves are low (although not downstairs). Please do ask if you require further clarification.

We booked Ellen's cottage because of its proximity to Sissinghurst. There were three of us - my husband myself and our two year old son. The cottage was advertised as ideal for two and from the photos the bedroom looked a bit small so we were slightly concerned. Ellen was attentive and quick in responding to my texts and offered a camping mattress, a cot mattress and a sleeping bag for extra comfort. She and her girls dug out toys for our son - which he enjoyed playing with during our stay. When we arrived Darren had put on a fire which made the house warm and welcoming, the kitchen had fresh bread, butter and eggs. There was a coffee grinder which we used to make fresh coffee every morning, it was real a treat. The house was very cosy and we enjoyed listening to jazz from the old record player while we relaxed in the living room in the evenings. The bedroom in reality was big enough for all three of us. And had enough space for our son to play on the floor too. Generous stock of blankets - all very clean and soft - made things more comfortable. The cottage is old style, quirky, and nothing is straight but this is part of its charm. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

BolamJune 2016

Really charming cottage with bags of character. Very nicely done with sympathetic furnishings but with the bonus of Wi-Fi, had lots of fun cooking with the period utensils etc in the kitchen. Very well located for Sissinghurst Gardens. Lots of interesting things in the house like period games etc really make it. Lovely

TimJuly 2016

This is a wonderful retreat from the hustle of modern life. Spent a week here writing without any distractions but plenty to do out and about when a break was needed. Ellen couldn't have done more to make my stay any more comfortable.

JustinOctober 2016

We had the most amazing time staying at Ellen cottage, the photos are a little glimpse of how beautiful the cottage is! We fell in love with the house! Ellen was so lovely, we only booked a couple of days before we arrived and she was so so helpful, always in touch and lots of advice on walks and places to eat! Also loved the little touches she had left for us, her homemade elderflower cordial was sooo beautiful. We were arriving late in the evening so she had left us bread, eggs, coffee and milk for the next morning! We have already recommended her place to out friends and family and we will for sure be returning! Thank you for being an amazing host Ellen, we had a lovely time :)

AshleyJune 2016

A lovely place for a break in a really quaint house not far from amenities and good places to visit. Would recommend this highly. Very good communications and extremely helpful.

MarkAugust 2016

The cottage is perfectly restored and full of details that sensitively with its rustic historic style. Kitchen has everything, including food essentials and even an oyster shucking knife, and bathroom has a roomy tub. Ellen's husband greeted us with the wood burner lit and a bottle in the fridge. This place is perfect for cosy suppers and nights by the fire. Thank you Ellen x

KasiaJanuary 2016

We had a lovely time at Ellen's cottage. Ellen was really easy to contact even though we didn't meet in person. She sent a little guide beforehand so we could prepare for our trip, and even let us know about a big car boot sale nearby on the last morning! There was even a bottle of fizz in the fridge for my boyfriends birthday! The cottage itself is really something else. It has everything you need while still retaining its rustic charm. The log burner is massive and easy to light, the record player and records are a lovely touch and the kitchen full of essentials (butter, milk, eggs) was very much appreciated! The house is perfectly sized for a two-person getaway. The bathroom is great, with a really big bath (and bath salts)! Bed is comfortable and there are lots of cute little touches that will keep you exploring! The place is about 15 minute walk into Cranbrook, where the hotel does a great Sunday lunch. By car, Sissinghurst has a brilliant pub where we had some excellent food, and there's also a pretty amazing farm shop five minutes drive away. We'd definitely stay again, thanks so much!

MelissaMay 2016

We booked at the last minute as another booking elsewhere was cancelled, but everything turned out to be so much better than I expected. Communication with Ellen was easy (although we never actually got to meet in person) and when we arrived we realised we'd found somewhere really special. We wanted somewhere to relax and the cottage was perfect and cosy with lots of lovely touches. Ellen had made sure we had everything we needed including wine in the fridge! The log burner was easy to light, with plenty of logs and we spent our first evening playing board games and exploring the record collection . The huge bath and comfy bed meant we had a great nights sleep too. It was a short walk into Cranbrook and easy to explore forest trails from a footpath opposite the cottage. Also easy to walk into Sissinghurst and good food at the Milk House. We had a great time and would definately recommend to others. Thanks Elle(URL HIDDEN)

My home is close to historic places, pretty villages, pubs and dining. I have a large garden in a quiet location which is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids). It is an hour from London, 40 mins from Dover and 25 mins to the beaches on the south coast

You are welcome to use my conservatory and living room
I hope to be able to help you discover the Garden of England which is our county and known as Kent

We are lucky to be in a quiet location but 10 min drive to a good town. Our villages have small shops and pubs. Sissinghurst and Leeds Castles are top of the list for visiting.
Our nearest train station Headcorn is 6 min drive from the house, and then the train takes an hour to London. There are beautiful beaches 25 mins drive to the south, near to Rye, an historic town.
There are lots of beautiful things to see in this area

We shared a bottle of wine (most of it!) and watched 'Strictly come Dancing' together before eating our meal and enjoying good conversation, almost as if I were one of her friends. The bed was very comfortable. The garden was lovely. I was very happy to be there.

Situated in a village with far reaching views at the back to relax and home from home feel. With the M20 and Leeds Castle just a short ride away or if you just want to go for a walk, plenty of places to go and explore.

Perfect stay and wonderful host for a wedding in the picturesque village. Janet went out of her way to pick me up from the station when taxi did not arrive! Lovely dog too. Thank you!

ErnstJune 2016

Janet's cottage dated 1640 is simple but very warm. The neighbourhood is quiet. Janet is a very pleasant person, very attentive . We enjoyed the time we have spent with her.

Jean-FrançoisMay 2016

Janet responded quickly and went out of her way to ensure we could find her property with clear directions and also helped us with finding the location for our party as we did not know the area. Also allowed us to put our belonging in her home before time and a key as we were not sure of a return time in the evening. Her home is in a very beautiful location and very relaxing

TrudyOctober 2016

Janet was lovely. Really friendly and helpful. Great communication. The room was cosy and all that was needed after a nearby wedding. Thank you.

benJune 2016

Janet is really kindly and helpfull. The dog is such lovely. We enjoyed the time we have spent in the warm house.

JINWENAugust 2016

Very good experience. Janet is very nice and an excellent host. The dog and cat are small and charming. The house is full of character and everything works. Sutton Valence is a pretty village with a couple of pubs. Nice base for exploring the local area and if you are at an event in the village (we were attending a wedding) it's great to be able to walk to your lodgings rather than take a cab to a distant hotel.

CatherineAugust 2016

Janet was very friendly and helpful, booked us a taxi, gave advice about the area and made us coffee in the morning. She has a sweet dog and cat who love being petted by newcomers!

HarrietAugust 2016

Janet was very welcoming and easy going. The dog and cat are also welcoming! I was staying to go to a late party and Janet was fine with me creeping in very late and I was grateful for parking opposite. This old house is deceptive as it extends at the back to a deck and garden with fantastic views. Altogether a comfortable and happy visit.

Excellent place - exactly as pictured and described. Extremely cosy and great facilities. It was so perfect we decided to stay in for the night and cook rather than go out. Jo was a perfect host and provided lots of added extras - breakfast and a few snacks. She was also very flexible about when we arrived and left. A hidden gem.

GeoffJuly 2016

All in all the accommodation was really nice. It was a bit smaller than I was expecting and I suppose I hadn't considered there would be quite a lot of bending to avoid low beams. The bed was comfortable and the overall feel of the place is that's its cosy and well presented. The shower and w/c were small but functional and there could have been slightly more on offer for breakfast such as fruit juice/pastries etc. Having said that it was a lovely experience and we would happily return.

AndySeptember 2016

A beautiful and cosy hideaway in a lovely little town. Jo left us really clear instructions, great communication and flat had everything we needed. Thank you!

SamanthaJuly 2016

Jo was very quick to email and provide directions of how to find her. She was very welcoming and even offered us warm jumpers to take along to our slightly damp but enjoyable evening watching Tom Jones at Bedgebury Forest. The room was beautiful and everything was just as described.. A perfect home from home for the night. Jo had even left us a selection of yummy treats for breakfast. A lovely stay and would be delighted to return. Thanks Jo x

Jo-AnneJune 2016

Everything was exactly as described. We appreciated the provisions provided. Jo and her family were very hospitable and the loft was very convenient for visiting Sissinghurst and the surrounding area.

DeborahJuly 2016

Jo made us feel really welcome at her lovely self contained loft. My sister and I were looking for a relaxing break and the loft had everything we needed. Not only is it beautifully decorated and very comfortable there were loads of cute added touches too like a bottle of wine and Easter eggs on arrival. Jo provided a hamper of goodies for breakfast and came and topped this up on our second night taking into account that my sister can't eat gluten. Thanks Jo!!

My friend and I had a great stay at Jo's house. We loved the accommodation, there was everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The bed was so comfortable and it was extremely quiet, being up in the loft and being high above the street below. Great location, being on the high street which made it handy to nip out for a curry but we were keen to get back to enjoy our cosy and quirky surroundings. We hope to get the opportunity to stay again. Thanks for making us feel most welcome in your characterful home. Anne and Sophie xx

Off the bedroom lies the superbly fitted shower room. Ample secure parking.
Changeover day is Friday. Minimum stay of 1 week from May to October unless booking is taken within 2 weeks of arrival date.

Guests are welcome to use the garden but please note, for those who bring dogs, the fence is not 100% dog proof, so keep a watchful eye or use a lead.

We're new to AirBnB but have been with Owners Direct for 10 years and have earned a 5 star rating with them.

Biddende is the most beautifully little village and Cecilia and her family were most welcoming. The Granary is small but perfectly formed, the shower wonderful and the decor is delightful.

StephenMay 2016

CB was the perfect hostess she was there to greet us & was available any time we needed her. The Granary is exactly how it looks in the photos. Lots to do in the area a good base to explore Kent & East Sussex. Would recommend to all & fingers crossed for a return visit soon!

AlexMay 2016

CB was very welcoming and generous as she picked us up from the train station and drove us back on our last day! Standen Granary was beautiful and exactly how it looked in the photos, I especially enjoyed eating dinner on the balcony, it was wonderful :) will definitely visit again, it's the perfect getaway! Thank you CB for such a wonderful time :)

VictoriaJuly 2016

Lovely tray of goodies awaiting our arrival and a jug of fresh milk in the fridge for that all important cup of tea - bliss. The Granary is small but perfectly formed and there is plenty to do in the area - walks, drives, NT properties, old historic towns and harbours are all easy to reach by car.

FrancesApril 2016

We had a perfect time in the appartment / house. Cecilia was very helpfull and even provided some additional power ciruits as we forgot to take them from The Netherlands. All and all a perfect vacation!

The Garden Cottage looks across the five acres of mature gardens and sheep-grazed meadows of Godwin House, a Grade II listed Tudor home built in 1580 when William Shakespeare was a boy and Francis Drake sailed the high seas. It lies in the lustrous countryside minutes from the famed Sissinghurst Gardens and ancient Cranbrook town.
The Garden Cottage has a large bedroom (24ft by 12ft) with sitting area and a generous bathroom. Our spacious, stand-alone studio, with its exposed beams, antique furniture and oriental rugs, is a romantic retreat within Kent’s beautiful countryside.
Having welcomed guests to the Garden Cottage for five years we’ve added those extras which help to make a short stay special. Expect 100% cotton bedding, fresh white towels, Molton Brown toiletries, a hairdryer, DAB radio and iPhone docks. Of course there is also free wifi and satellite TV.
Help yourself to tea and treats or a cafetiere of coffee – all waiting for you. We’ll also leave you a plate of cheese and charcuterie, homemade bread and our own-recipe marmalade so that you can enjoy breakfast as and when you feel like it. Weather permitting, you are welcome to enjoy an al fresco breakfast in the garden or take it as a picnic into the meadows.
You will have exclusive use of the Garden Cottage and the full run of Godwin House’s admired grounds. There is free parking.
We'll meet you on arrival and show you around. There's an information pack on local attractions, shops and restaurants. Should you need any further help we are available (but never intrusive).

When you stay at the Garden Cottage you are in an officially designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is fabulous just to look at or immerse yourself as a walker or a cyclist. National Trust properties are everywhere. There are castles – Bodiam, Leeds, Scotney; there are gardens - the world famous Sissinghurst Gardens or Great Dixter and many others. Not far are grand houses and history everywhere – Churchill's house, Darwin's house, Kipling's house, Dickens' homes and settings.
We are only half an hour from the sea and there is a profusion of intriguing and beautiful ancient towns in the county.
It's only a short trip from this rural idyll to whirligig of London. One hour on a train takes you right into the heart of the West End with its theatres, galleries and restaurants.
This is the countryside and you will need a car to get around. Our nearest railway station is Staplehurst, 10 minutes away, with two trains an hour to London (Charing Cross in under an hour). If you want to spread your wings further, half an hour away is Ashford International from where you can reach central Paris on the Eurostar in just two hours.
The Garden Cottage is one of two stand-alone studios at Godwin House that can be booked separately or together. Check the following links.

Sean & Corinna could not have been more welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. A great experience.

IreneAugust 2016

We stayed in the garden cottage as we really needed a relaxing weekend outside of London and this was exactly what we needed. Sean and Corrina were fantastic hosts! Sean met us and showed us around then left us to it. Sean was flexible about the check in time which really helped so we were able to check in a little bit earlier. The room was really lovely and we were very comfortable. The bed was perfect and the bathroom was very clean with all the amenities. The wifi signal wasn't great but that was ok in my book as I needed to switch off! They left us a breakfast which was delicious. We woke up to the sound of the birds and lambs in the next field which was lovely also! We would highly recommend the garden cottage and the grounds and surrounding area is definitely worth a visit. Many thanks Sean & Corinna...we hope to visit again someday :) Best wishes, Kathryn & Andy

Kathryn&AndyApril 2016

Absolute lovely couple with a beautiful home. They made us feel so welcome and recommeded where we should eat. Clean home, with hot drinks and some breakfast. Would definitely go back!!!

Katie March 2016

We had a lovely stay with Sean and Corrina. They had thought of everything from recommended restaurants in the area to beautiful toiletries. They even offerered us a stash of wellies to explore their beautiful garden and surroundings. We slept very well in the comfortable bed and luxurious bed linen. The caramel shortcake and teapigs bags were a wonderful greeting after a long journey. Thank you both for a lovely break-we really felt like we had been on holiday! Emily and Melissa

EmilyFebruary 2016

What a lovely stay! Sean and Corinna were wonderfully welcoming, and were understanding when we were held up by traffic on the way. They provided a beautiful overnight stop en route to France in their cosy cottage. Waking up to a nice collection of bread, cereals, and homemade marmalade that was left for us in the cottage, was just what we needed. The sheep and fields behind their house provide a perfectly peaceful backdrop. Their village is delightful, and we hope we can come stay longer and explore their charming area another time.

NiaFebruary 2016

We absolutely loved our stay in Sissinghurst - a beautiful village and lots to see and do. The cottage Sean and Corinna provide is very beautiful & comfortable whilst the gardens it is situated in are also picturesque and peaceful. Sean and Corinna were great hosts - ensuring we had what we needed and knew the best places to eat and visit. Definitely would recommend to others and we would also return ourselves. Claire & Georges

Claire-LouiseApril 2016

Sean and Corinna were really lovely hosts. Very helpful indeed. The place was so beautiful and had lots of space to relax in, with an even more beautiful and spacious bathroom. I would most definitely stay here again.

JillFebruary 2016

Sean and Corinna are great hosts at this cute cottage in the Kent countryside. Close to Sissinghurst and with all amenities it's a great place to stay
